The upcoming GMA-7's Primetime TV series "My Korean Jagiya" is the network's another huge TV series as it combines the prominent actors and actresses from two countries - the Philippines and Korean.

We grew up watching our favorite Koreanovelas before. And yes, the Kapuso station is the one who brought us the best and the remarkable Korean dramas to date! That's why they were dubbed as "the heart of Asia." But this year, they set another trend - putting the Filipino and Korean actors into one TV series. But wait there's more, they even brought the Filipino culture in Korean's memorable places as most of the scenes were shot there.

After we knew more about the series, it's time to know the characters that we will love every night. During the grand presscon of the teleserye held at the K-Pub Korean restaurant in Trinoma, Quezon City, August 14, 2017, the Korean and the Filipino actors shared one stage as they were presented to the press.

Lead by Heart Evangelista and Alexander Lee, here is the live video streaming of "My Korean Jagiya" Grand Presscon:

Under the direction of Mark Reyes, "My Korean Jagiya" is set to hit the GMA Primetime starting this Monday, August 21, 2017. Fighting! 08/16/2017 (TV Series Craze)

Beginning August 21, GMA Network marks history once again as it proudly presents its first-ever Filipino-Korean romantic comedy series, My Korean Jagiya.

Headlining this newest primetime spectacle is no other than Philippine TV’s Sweetheart Heart Evangelista-Escudero as Guadalupe Immaculada Asuncion or “Gia”.

Introducing in this original masterpiece is professional Korean actor, host, former member of the well-known K-pop group U-KISS, and the newest Kapuso oppa who is undeniably swoon-worthy and is all set to melt viewers’ hearts, Alexander Lee as Kim Jun Ho.

My Korean Jagiya tells the story of Gia, a quirky, bubbly, and hopelessly romantic girl often teased that she is next in her family to become an old maid. Apart from being a Korean grade school tutor, she is the ultimate K-drama fan girl armed with determination to meet her long-time crush and Korean superstar, Kim Jun Ho, who has since fallen off the radar and stepped out of the limelight at the height of his career.

When her school offers her a scholarship training in Seoul, she grabs the opportunity to try and find Jun Ho, but ends up coming home disappointed. As it turns out, fate had a different plan for her when she helps a drunk Korean guy beaten by gangsters in one of Manila’s bars. After a few days, the mysterious guy comes back to thank her, and much to her surprise, it’s her dream oppa, Kim Jun Ho!

Sparks fly and the two of them eventually become friends. But to Gia, Jun Ho will always mean something more. Can he find it in his heart to fall in love with her, too? Or are some dreams too good to come true?

With a light and romantic theme, My Korean Jagiya is set to make viewers fall in love with the kilig-filled story Gia and Jun Ho. The series was partly shot in South Korea’s most scenic spots used in famous K-dramas including Nami Island (Winter Sonata), Namsan Park (My Name is Kim Sam Soon), Love Padlocks at N Seoul Tower (My Love From the Star),and Daejanggeum Park, the actual set built and used for the internationally-acclaimed series Jewel In The Palace. Also, the series was shot in other popular tourist destinations in Korea like Han River Park, Cheonggyecheon Stream Park, and Seoul Land Theme Park.
